Saint Michael Church Uffheim depended formerly on the mother-church of the Hochkirch and it is in 1782 that the old chapel became parish church to yield its place in 1829 to the current sanctuary which preserves a bell-tower of the 14th century. The church contains two paintings of the native artist of the place, Sebastien Gutzwiller (1798-1872), the first representing Saint Michael and the second the Immaculate Virgin. On the right side altar, a painting of another local artist, Louis Heimburger (1806-1882) shows the sorrows of Saint Sebastian.	The sorrows of Saint Sebastian (Louis Heimburger)

The " Aechengraben " casemate is one of the 32 casemates of infantry built in the Sundgau and reinforced by seven artillery casemates with two pieces of 75 each (range 11 kilometers). Two of these artillery works are located at one kilometer behind, in Werbenmühle of Uffheim, a third at Sierentz close to the Hospital. Their mission was to prevent a possible enemy overflow by the Basle area and the Swiss territory. With thicknesses of concrete exceeding 2,25 m, an armament made up of two anti-tank guns of 47 mm, of two machine-guns of 8 mm, a watching- and close-defense-bell of 17 tons, this block was occupied by a crew of about 20 men and a warrant officer. A lieutenant controlled a group of 3 to 4 casemates. This old fortification, dismantled in 1972, was taken in charge in 1991 and, as an element of the communal historical heritage, completely restored by the History Societey of Hochkirch (société d'Histoire de la Hochkirch). It is about the only casemate renovated in High Alsace, enbryon of the memorial museum of the Maginot Line in South Alsace. More information in the book "39/40 dans le Sundgau" from La Société d'Histoire de la Hochkirch Website of the casemate: www.maginot68.com presented by l'Association Mémorial Maginot de Haute Alsace
